24 Hour Fitness Closing One Location In Laguna Hills

The national gym chain 24 Hour Fitness has filed for bankruptcy and is closing more than 100 locations, including in Laguna Hills.

24 Hour Fitness is permanently shuttering one location in Laguna Hills. The to-close gym is located at 25252 McIntyre Street, Suite A in Laguna Hills.

“If it were not for COVID-19 and its devastating effects, we would not be filing for Chapter 11,” CEO Tony Ueber said in a statement. “We expect to have substantial financing with a path to restructuring our balance sheet and operations to ensure a resilient future.”

Despite the forced closures, 24 Hour Fitness said Monday in its Chapter 11 filings that it has secured $250 million in funding to support the reopening of its other locations by the end of June. Those locations had been closed for months because of coronavirus-related shutdowns.

24 Hour Fitness has three locations near Laguna Hills expected to remain open.

• Mission Viejo: 23166 Los Alisos Blvd 140
• Irvine Center Drive: 8697
• Aliso Viejo: 27141 Aliso Creek Road

24 Hour Fitness now joins Gold’s Gym as a medium-sized fitness chain that has filed for bankruptcy due to coronavirus-related losses.
